Two people were injured Monday night when the car they were riding in hit an embankment and flipped over on Mile Hill Road in Belmont. The driver of the car was unhurt.
The driver, Jamie Peterson, 17, of Belmont, was able to crawl out of the car on his own.
The injured passengers, two young females, were pulled from the wreckage after 45 minutes of using the Jaws of Life. They were sent to Memorial Hospital in Belmont, where one is currently in stable condition. The second victim was airlifted to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
Peterson was driving on Mile Hill Road at about 9 p.m. when his white Mustang swerved off the road, hit an embankment, and flipped over. The accident was called in by Josie M. Crandall of 27 Mile Hill Road after witnessing the accident.
“I’ve never seen a car going so fast on this road,” Crandall said. “It’s a dirt road, and it’s really easy to lose control.”
Two people were killed on Christmas Eve of 1998 in an accident that occurred at this same spot.
